what to do with driftwood to change shape?

soak the wood for a while because mopani wood tends to turn water orange/brown fairly easy.. But the piece is still usable, add some java moss to it and its a beauty

its been soaking for several days, and I boiled it today. the water is a real red color. still leeching, hope by next week it will be good to go. I was going to add it to my 55 with moss, but the sevrum is eating all the moss off the other drift wood alread. I am betting by morning he has it all eaten .
I believe duckweed will go in there, he can eat that! :lol:
